Top 3 things Brinton wants to do when he gets his halo removed:
1. Take a normal shower or a 3 hour bubble bath because he is so entirely sick of sponge baths.
2. Wash and cut his hair. He hates his long, shaggy, unruly, icky hair and he is just ready to have nice, clean, nicely groomed hair.
3. Wear normal clothes. With the halo on we've had to modify all of his shirts to fit over the halo. He has missed being able to wear some of his favorite clothes and he is bored with plain white tees and hoodies.
Yesterday, we had to go to Children's Mercy to be seen for an infection in 3 of his pin sites. Deep down inside I was hoping they'd say "It's close enough....let's take it off today!". But alas they gave us antibiotic ointment and a prescription for some strong antibiotics to use for the next 17 days. Boo. So there are still 17 days.
After our little stint at Children's we went to get some energy out at the play place at Mcdonalds. Let me tell you for a boy who just a month ago was still using a walker to get around and sitting in a wheel chair for long distance, he was going so fast up those tubes he was making me nervous!
You know he could be sitting at home bummed for the next 17 days or whining about the pin site infection but here he is climbing to the top of a play set he really shouldn't be able to climb to the top of! He is seriously the happiest, most fun loving kid and he teaches me so much about life every day.
